At the Stewart Avenue bridge over Fall Creek the red-tailed hawk was feeding a lone chick this evening. Initially there looked to be two furry blobs, but one of them turned out to be a squirrel. A passerby who checks out the nest when he walks by every day said this was the first time he'd seen the mother stand up to reveal a chick.
For the photographer, the shadow of the bridge falls upon the nest around 6pm: before that you get a late afternoon sun; after you get a nice even shadow. The annoying fence remains.
